This week is going to be different.
I know this because I got three kids to put other schoolwork away and work on what my teacher had on the board. Even though I had to sit next to one boy for several minutes and block every single excuse he threw at me. Even when I accidentally called him the wrong name (though I had been using his name clearly for the entire conversation, just an accidental slip).
GOT. THEM. TO WORK.
I’m not proud of it, I’m not excited about it, I just realized I didn’t want to be the half-teacher in their eyes and that I do mean business sometimes.
Anyway… who knows…
